Formulas, Symbols, and Terminology

For the convenience of plumbing engineers, following are some of the basic formulas commonly referred to and
utilized in plumbing engineering and design. It is extremely important to convert values to the proper units
whenever using these equations.
Take note that gravitational acceleration and gravitational constant have the same numerical value, but the
units are not the same. These terms can be left out of equations with no effect on the numerical value. However,
the units will not be dimensionally correct and do not cancel out.
Due to the English system of measurement utilizing pounds to indicate mass and force, pounds-mass (lbm)
and pounds-force (lbf) are used to distinguish between the two. This is not an issue for the International System
of Units (SI)

FORMULAS COMMONLY USED IN PLUMBING ENGINEERING

The Manning Formula

The Manning Formula is used to determine the velocity (V) of uniform flow in sloping drains.
(Uniform flow
is defined as the flow that is achieved in open channels of constant shape and size and uniform slope.)
Note that
the slope of the water surface is equal to the slope of the channel, and the flows in such open channels do not
depend on the pressure applied to the water but on the gravitational force induced by the slope of the drain and
the height of the water in that drain.

EQUATION 1-1 :
——————————————————-
V = 1.486 R2∕3 S½ / N

[ V = 1.00 R2∕3 S½/ N

where
V = Velocity of flow, feet per second (ft/s) (meters per second [m/s])
n = Coefficient representing roughness of pipe surface, degree of fouling, and pipe diameter
R = Hydraulic radius, ft (m)
S = Hydraulic slope of surface of flow, ft/ft (m/m)

The hydraulic radius (R) can be calculated using Equation 1-3.

The roughness coefficient (n) and several values
for the hydraulic radii are given in Marks’ Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers.

Rate of Flow
Equation 1-2 is used to determine the amount of water passing through a pipe. This quantity of water, for a given
time, depends on the cross-sectional area of the pipe and the velocity of the water.

Pivoting Plumber
___________________________________________

Knowing when and how to adjust to industry changes
allows New York’s Nebrasky Plumbing to grow from
a once bankrupt company to a thriving one.

Pivoting Plumber
_______________________________

"Over the years, there have been bumps in
the road, but we’ve added services. We’ve
been able to move as the economy has
moved and pivot as business changed.”

Pivoting Plumber
__________________________________________
arning to pivot was one of the best business lessons Paul Nebrasky has ever picked up in his more than 30-year plumbing career.
The 54-year-old owner of Nebrasky Plumbing, Heating & Cooling has had to pivot his company’s service offerings several times over the last three decades in order to stay on top of the industry and continue to bea go-to for customers. “In the last 31 years, we’ve grown a bankrupt business into a 30-employee business,” Nebrasky says. “Over the years, there have been bumps in the road, but we’ve added services.
We’ve been able to move as the economy has moved and pivot as business changed.” While the Monroe, New York-based company has added services, one thing that hasn’t changed over the last 31 years is its dedication to customer service.
“Any great company you want to talk about needs to start with customer service,” Nebrasky says. “If you don’thave great customer service, you’re going out of business.”
That won’t change anytime soon either, as the company brings on more technology that will help its techniciansserve customers even better in the years to come.

FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING
__________________________________________
Nebrasky found his way into the industry and owningthe company in a roundabout way. While he was workingfor other plumbing firms, his stepfather was operating hisown one-man plumbing company.
“I wasn’t working for him at the time because I couldn’tget along with him,” Nebrasky says. “Like a lot of kids whotry to work with their dad, sometimes it just doesn’t work.”While his stepfather was a skilledplumber, it was theoperating end of the business that he wasn’t so great at —not knowing what to charge, for example. Finally, in 1988,Nebrasky’s stepfather had to file for bankruptcy, givinghis stepson a call to say he was done and he and Nebrasky’s mom were moving to Florida.
“The truck was already mine from the first time he went bankrupt, so this time he said he could leave me the rest of the company if I would like it,” Nebraskysays. “I took over the company and changed the name, and since then we’ve grown.”
At the age of 24, Nebrasky knew it was his time to take a try at owning a plumbing business. The risks were low as he had just two roommates, wasn’t married or engaged and had very little expenses at
the time.
“It was a great time to start the company,” Nebrasky says. “Was it scary? Yes, but I never looked back.” The company is more diverse now, offering services such as new construction plumbing, heating, air conditioning and home energy assessments.

THE BIG PROJECTS
__________________________________________
New construction is one of the company’s mostrecent pivots. That division began with a focus onresidential housing, but as the area’s needs havechanged, so has that focus.
“Our area that we serve has changed fromresidential housing to more commercial buildings because LEGOLAND is building its first Northeast theme park 15 minutes from my office,” Nebrasky says. “What followed LEGOLAND were hotels.”
Nebrasky saw this shift three years ago and now is doing small residential hotels like Holiday Inn Expresses.
“Right now, we’re in the process of doing plumbing in three hotels — which 10 years ago if you would have told me I would take on a big job like that, I would have told you that you were nuts.”
He says he saw the need and realized if he didn’t pivot the company into that direction, his company could be in trouble.

ETTING SMARTER
__________________________________________
That mindset of adjusting to what is happening in the
market isn’t just on the construction side. It’s also on the
technological side. With younger homeowners being the
current trend, the company is seeing a more tech-savvy
customer taking shape.
Many homeowners today are looking for more ways
to use their smartphones or Alexa-type devices in their
homes. “In the HVAC industry, some of the smart
technologies have been out for a while, like the Nest
thermostats that allow users to operate a thermostat from
their phone,” Nebrasky says. “Recently, large manufacturers
like Kohler, Moen and GROHE are starting to come out
with smart technology in plumbing.”
Nebrasky jumped on the smart technology quickly,
saying it works in HVAC, so why couldn’t it work in
plumbing? “It comes down to customer demand,” Nebrasky
says. “We have to look at what our customers want down
the road. And the millennials are going to want this.”
With that smart technology has come some growing
pains. One of the biggest has been training the plumbers
to install the technology.
“You have to send a technician or plumber who can tie
this into the homeowner’s Wi-Fi,” Nebrasky says. “You
would not believe how many customers don’t know their
Wi-Fi access number. It’s not as easy as just putting this
in and leaving. You have to tie it into Wi-Fi and program
it with a laptop. Plumbers aren’t used to that.”
